Abstract: Edge burr is inevitably present at a slit edge when an aluminum web is shear slit by a pair of rotary knives (or blades) engaged and rotated in opposite directions. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of human tympanic membrane (TM) has been investigated extensively under quasistatic loading conditions in the past. The results, however, are sparse for the mechanical ...

Abstract: Continuous shear slitting of aluminum sheets (or webs) was investigated using a laboratory slitter. This study focused on experimental investigation of the effect of three major slitting parameters ...

Abstract: Strong single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess very high stiffness and strength. They have potential for use to tailor the material design to reach desired mechanical properties through SWNT ...

Abstract: A viscoelastic nanoindentation technique was developed to measure both in-plane and through-thickness viscoelastic properties of human tympanic membrane (TM). For measurement of in-plane Young’s ...

Abstract: A glass fiber reinforced polyurethane foam (R-PUF), used for thermal insulation of liquefied natural gas tanks, was characterized to determine its compressive strength, modulus, and relaxation ...

Abstract: In view of the current bottlenecks of low nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency and high cathode cost of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), this study constructed single-chamber biocathode MFCs to carry out related research. ...
